Detailed Studies of Aerosol, Droplet, and Cloud Processes in the Marine Atmosphere
Abstract
Funds are provided to conduct research to investigate marine boundary layer processes that influence the coupled ocean-atmosphere system and ultimately affect platform, sensor, and weapons performance. Using field data collected by the PI, satellite data, and process-based models, the following two issues will be addressed: (i) aerosol and droplet microphysical processes; (ii) factors governing cloud/fog properties and precipitation. These two topics were chosen because they are associated with major uncertainties that limit current predictive capabilities, and the PI is uniquely positioned to address them due to the ability to leverage valuable data from recent ONR-funded field projects and collaborative field campaigns during the project.
